Ok so the next thing I want to identify is glass. Here's a nice glass jar, get some tape and put it at the end of your string. And this is silicone, it's one of the main ingredients for glass and it has a number of fourteen so I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to put it right here. And as you can see I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to next start with an egg and I've got this nice decorated egg. Kind of lends attention to just that plain old egg and I'm going to go ahead and this is made out of calcium, it's made out of carbon and it's made out of oxygen. So at some point you're going to want to put three strings to this. And I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to tape it on here nicely. I'm going to go for calcium. I'm going to make sure that I have string stuck to the end of this. Each end bit should have a piece of tape stuck to the end and let's go ahead, oops, came off but let's go ahead and put this to calcium which has a periodic number or an atomic number of twenty. And so I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to put this here and I'm going to put this here. Then I'm going to take my next string and I'm going to note that it has carbon in it as well. And I'm also going to note that it has oxygen in it and I'm going to tape it right there. So people can see that this is all connected to carbon.
